NORTHERN QUEENSLAND FILE

This file contains data drawn from many sources, starting with cemetery records and extenting into other stand-alone genealogies. In general the data covers the geographical areas between Mackay and Ingham, with particular emphasis on Townsville, Ravenswood, and Charters Towers. It will take months to assemble and integrate these files, and we rely on YOU to correct errors and add material. It is meant to be a resource for you, and your family. Any of the source material and/or GEDcom files are available on request.
Please bear with us as we start this new project...
